INNOVATION

Innovation isn’t just about the newest product, service or solution. It’s about making the competition irrelevant. Come up with a great innovation at any inflection point on your business model and you can transform your whole industry.

NEGOTIATION

80% of business leaders leave value on the table. Aluna provides negotiation training and capacity building to maximize value capture, strengthen relationships with key stakeholders, improve communications and drive growth.

OUR DIFFERENTIATORS

Choosing a consulting firm is a big decision. The success of your project depends on it. We understand this and have built our practice to ensure excellence. Here’s how:

Simple Tools

We distill complex theory and concepts down to simple tools that can be integrated into your business operations to align your team and capture value. We provide elegant solutions that work.

Implementation

Creating a plan is great, but if you can’t implement, it isn’t worth very much. One of Aluna’s key differentiators is that we understand how to both build a strategic plan and help ensure it is actionable. We help uncover potential roadblocks, improvement alignment and foster buy-in to help ensure your vision gets realized in the best way possible.

Global Network

Aluna offers our clients access to the very best in strategic thinking and unique insights by aligning ourselves with leading academic institutions and innovation organizations. We are stronger together.

Capacity Building

Going beyond skills training, Aluna can help build capacity of your team to not only adopt to change, but thrive. Our methods help your team to improve performance, think strategically and generate value on an on-going basis.
